**HAPPY 3 YEAR ANNIVERSARY SINCE THE ALLIANCES ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!**

I actually really liked what they did with the animation change on GS 4 (shows off your gs skin a little bit more than the old animation)! The biggest issue I have with it is how long it takes for the phantasm to turn into a clone after its attack

Oy! We're still getting massive server lag when playing in tier 1/2! How about an official anet announcement on the **STILL** ongoing issue of server lag instead of some half-donkeyed comment on it during a twitch stream?!?


Feels like I could use all my shatters off cd and they would still not have turned into clones by then

The roaming meta is the play cheese or get cheesed.

We got perma invis deadeyes, dodge and teleport spamming thieves/daredevils, unkillable boon beasts and core necros, 25k damage bursts from stealth mesmers and condi revs dishing out more torment than anyone's childhood trauma...welcome to WvW, pick your cancer

I really like this! It's creative, unorthodox and opens up more interesting gameplay options rather than using the standard ez rez skill off cooldown whenever there is a downed teammate. The issue is, it would make downstate and rezzing less overpowered than it already is and anet would never let that happen

2021******

1 more day until the 2 year anniversary of this lost-cause of a promise! Looking forward to another year of WvW content being ugly, overpriced mount skins for the boring and overpowered warclaw!!

Rending Shatter in the domination line: Shatter skills inflict 1 stack of Vulnerability on hit for 8 seconds.

This is absolutely the most worthless MAJOR trait I've ever seen.

You can't spell "**N**o Upd**ate**" without "anet"

Exactly 1 month away from the 2 year anniversary since the last official Alliances update! It's terrible that the awful handling of WvW has made me more excited to roast Anet rather than looking forward to getting actual GW2 content

**Do you know how bloody easy it is for most classes heal from even 5%hp back to full??**

Health percentage really doesn't matter in this day in age when health bars can roller-coaster up and down so rapidly

I long for the days when the Warclaw **WASN'T** in WvW. The terrible handling of its release with all the bugs/exploits, difficulty to dismount from the free 10k barrier and the snowball advantage it granted to the larger group left a sour taste in my mouth and I have questioned Anet's competence ever since.

_Also they recently took away the one thing I liked about the mount which was the insta stomp on downed people because fuck actually having counters to the broken rez mechanic_

I waited 4 months to see what changes their significantly delayed balance patch would bring. Unsurprisingly the meta hardly changed at all with little new viable builds emerging and the already good ones staying good. Nope, I'm not going to play for another 4-5 months in this sh!tfest of a game hoping that they'll get it right next time. I'm cutting myself off from this abusive relationship

I like how alliances is noticibly absent from your Q3 roadmap. Can't wait to hear your PR rats say "alliances is still on the table" during the 8th anniversary celebration and then proceed to be silent on it for the rest of the year

The original warclaw stomp was one of the very few things I agreed with for the mount in WvW cause it actually provided some counterplay to how overpowered downstate and rezzing is. But fuck that lets just once again further devolve this game mode into whoever has the most numbers so they can be carried by the utterly broken downstate mechanic

Reason #11: Forum moderation is so bad that it literally takes them 7+ days to notice something that infringes on their rules


This only further supports that Anet barely reads the forums

Reason #8: Anet doesn't respect EU server reset time and releases a patch during that time to fix some colour bug on their newest skyscale skin, causing numerous WvW players to lose their que spot in the game mode

Reason #6: WvW population is getting lower and lower yet skill lag has only gotten more frequent

**Skip to 1:08**

Reason #5: The only time the PvP and WvW communities get updates on development is on random media outlets like twitch instead of the official forums


Power Mesmer is a squishy class that often relies on attacking using the element of surprise and kiting. Literally all thief builds can outstealth your stealth and have enough gap closers and mobility that kiting is useless/impossible. Not to mention consume plasma on their insta cast steal skill gives them every boon in the game to make your life even harder. Best case scenario is stealth up and just run to get out of combat or burst them when they don't know you're there

And instead of any population balance being made, we had gliding, watchtowers and mounts come out which all in my opinion, took away from the WvW experience than added to it

Using some anet's words: This post is meant to be a long term project in which I am currently "laying the groundwork" in order bring some of the glaring issues in WvW to light. Fear not, I am committed to this project and will continue to update the community on the progress made

**Translation:** I'll probably post daily for 3 or 4 days, then you might get another reason every week or so. But eventually it will take me longer than 17 months to come out with an update

Doesn't have to be all me. You're all welcome to post your own gripes here. Also is this reason "bearing on the mode?"

Reason #4: Anet's obvious priorities in developing

_Anet when the gem store has an issue:_


_Anet when WvW server reset in the middle of the week:_


Reason #3: Ranger longbow range is more than 1500, longer than sic-em in some cases
